About Tour Guide Kaori S.

Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively.


I love travel both international and domestic. That's why I love helping individual travelers rather than group tours, because I myself love travel freely. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love.


As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. We see what you like and talk what you are interested in. That's my style. If you don't know what to want, I can help you with that.


I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request.

・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY

・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY

・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour


I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!

Reviews

Great 1 1/2 days with Kaori in Tokyo

I had a group of 5 adults in Tokyo for 1 1/2 days before boarding a cruise for the rest of Japan. We booked Kaori to tour us around, and she did a great job. We obviously didn’t have a lot of time to see such a big city, but Kaori put together a good itinerary to first hit the highlights on the east side, then the next 1/2 day the highlights on the west side. Kaori was flexible for our interests and able to explain the sights well.

Thank you for taking your time to give an excellent feedback for me. Our two day tours went smooth thanks to a private car you kindly booked on GoWithGuide. I was delighted to share my favorite Tokyo’s seasonal best highlights before your cruise ship departure. It was great to meet you all. Thank you for choosing me as your guide for your precious people. Big hugs, Kaori

A day in western Tokyo

Amazing experience with Kaori. We started communication long before the trip began to get a feel for what our wishes were. She showed up as promised at our hotel and (even though the weather was unbelievable awful) we had a great time. She was knowledgeable and pointed out many things that we didn't know. World highly recommend her for anyone looking for an excellent guide.

Thank you for taking precious time to write an excellent review and recommendation during your holidays. I’m truly grateful that we enjoyed the day with smiles thanks to your positive mindset even when we’ve met a return of cold weather in spring. Oh, I feef responsible for your having lots of stuff to pack in the beginning of your trip already, but happy you did complete some shopping list! Thank you again. Wishing you enjoy Japan's beautiful season to the fullest. Big hugs, Kaori
